FAQ
21. When I try to copy something to my Classic SL Network Drive, why
does the following show up: "Cannot copy Classic SL Network Drive
Administrator: The disk is write-protected. Remove the write-pro-
tection or use another disk."?
You probably do not have Read/Write access. Click on the Classic SL Network
Drive Icon in your bottom-right system tray. Go to your Classic SL Network
Drive and then click on "Enable Read/Write."
22. Why can’t I format my whole Classic SL Network Drive to FAT32?
Windows 2000/XP comes with a limitation of only 32GB partitions that it can
create. This is a Windows limitation and the only resolution is to use a 3rd
party partitioning software or use a Windows 98SE/ME computer to format
the entire drive to FAT32. With our Multi-Write drivers, NTFS is recom-
mended anyways for stability and performance purposes.
Windows 98SE / Windows Me
1. How do I disconnect Classic SL Network Drive?
We recommend using the Disable option from your Classic SL Network Drive
Administrator Tool if connected via NDAS (Ethernet). You can also use the
"Unplug or Eject Hardware" icon in your System Tray to stop the Classic SL
Network Drive before disconnecting it (this applies to either USB or NDAS
mode).
2. I’ve installed Classic SL Network Drive on my Windows 98SE compu-
ter and cannot see Classic SL Network Drive.
Please check to see if Classic SL Network Drive drivers are properly loaded.
If you are using USB, you may need to download the Classic SL Network Drive
USB drivers from our Download Center. Right-click on My Computer - Go to
Properties - then click on Device Manager and look for any yellow exclama-
tion or question marks.
Check if Classic SL Network Drive is formatted to FAT32 as Windows 98SE can
only recognize FAT file systems.
If you can, go to Start - Run - and type in "Command" without quotation marks
and press the Enter key. Next, type in "fdisk" without quotation marks.
If it asks you about Enabling large file support, type in Y and press the Enter key.
If there is an option #5, then Enter in that number.
If that option is not there, then your Classic SL Network Drive is not being
recognized.
If it is, then please check to see that your drive is there.
If your Classic SL Network Drive is still not recognized, make sure that your
Classic SL Network Drive is powered on. Also, try power-cycling your Classic
SL Network Drive and making sure that the software, if any, are loaded
correctly.
